See below for additional information. U16 and older skiers will use a 1.1 km course\, and U10 through U14’s will go 0.9 km. U8 Skiers will race an untimed mass start lollipop race. \nSunday will be mass start skate races.

However\, in the heats there are no eliminations. For the first round of heats (quarterfinals) the fastest six qualifiers go into the first heat\, the next fastest six go into the second heat\, and so on until all qualifiers have been assigned to heats. After the quarterfinals the first and second finishers in each heat move up one heat for the semifinals\, while the fifth and sixth of each heat move down one heat (except that no one moves up from the first heat or down from the last heat). The same thing happens from the semifinals to the finals. Final race results are the finish order in each consecutive heat: first through sixth places are the finish order of the first heat; seventh through twelfth places are the finish order of the second heat\, and so on. \n\nSchedule (start times subject to revision depending on field sizes)\nSat\, Jan 26: Registration fees increase by $10 \nThu\, Jan 31\, midnight: Registration closes.
